Intensive Agriculture

"Think big. This is about feeding US, forever."

The Sassanid economy was heavily dependent on agriculture; it was the primary means of earning for the common Persian and the chief means of taxation for the government. The farmers tended to livestock, as well as producing crops of wheat, barley, fruits and vegetables and, although less profitable, rice. Although mainly private sectors, the maintenance of Sassanid agriculture required vast state-led infrastructure, from training to irrigation, and the construction of huge dams and vast qanat networks. This sprawling system of hydraulics was crucial not only for crop cycles, but also for the supply of water to cities where, as well as being reliant on water for basic survival, population growth relied heavily on agricultural output. On a processing level, the transformation of products for sale became more efficient and, in many places, was aided by the state, allowing the Shahanshah to take tighter grip of the Sassanid economy.
